Without knowing your budget and what you're going to be doing with the rifle, its hard to make a call.

Decouplers/LID/Nielsen/Piston question...

While still waiting on my .22LR and .30 cal stamps, I'm toying with the idea of another stamp for a pistol can. Looking over the various pictures/drawings/diagrams I can find, I see that most all of the Nielsen-type devices are between 2 and 2-3/4-ish inches long, overall. Why? Is there that much ro...

Re: Need constructive criticism

Waaaaaay overkill for a rimfire can, but should be OK for centerfire. Gonna be heavy, and the threading will be a weakness in the design, but you should be able to compensate for that with a little thicker tube.

Re: Interesting Saker cal and cap test.

I doubt that will work, as the end cap on the TiRant holds the baffles in, therefore it is a required silencer part.

IIRC, the Saker's baffles don't rely on the end cap for retention, so the cap is an accessory.

Pretty good idea, I must say...

'Significantly'? Compared to what, an Octane? No, I think the commercial can will win over a bbbb...(baseball bat based build :lol: ahem... :? ).

Re: Specwar 762 question

Copper washed/plated don't really help much, except marketing a prettier bullet. Still have lots of unburnt powder and molten lead spewing into the can, thus the recommendation to avoid Rimfire ammo in a centerfire suppressor that can't come apart for cleaning. I doubt 20 or 30rds of .22LR would mak...

Re: Does anyone have ideas for radical designs?

The biggest issue with a Nielsen-activated valve is timing. By the time that the piston moves and starts compressing the spring (the linear motion required to activate the valve, I assume), the bullet is out of the can, and hope of increasing pressure dwell time goes along with it. Milliseconds late...

Re: Clipping cones on 500 whisper can. What size end mill???

Since you can take material off, but not put it back, I'd recommend doing some 'sperimentin... I think 1/8" is probably too small to make a huge difference, but you never know. I'm assuming that your can will be threaded so you can disassemble it to clean; if that is the case, then stack up the...

Bender, do YOU have any novel ideas for us to play with? Anything that you've seen or thought of that may increase performance? He probably does, but seeing as how he is an 07/02 and is coming to market with his own designs, I doubt he wants to give away his secrets... Just a guess, though. Byrdman

Specwar, Saker, & 762-SDN-6 seem to be the front runners right now. AAC has the SR7 coming out shortly with the 90T mount. There are many Ti models out and about, too.

Re: New to suppressors, would like some help

Just a heads-up: 10.5" (or shorter) on an AR is hell on a suppressor...the blast baffle gets hammered, pressure is 50% higher than at 14.5", and you're barely at the 2500fps 'threshold' for a .22cal bullet to tumble and fragment. Also, if you 'shroud' the barrel, especially on an SBR, you'...
